Simply Color Ombre Quilts

Now that Market is over I can share a few other projects I was working on beforehand. I was given the chance to create a trio of quilts with some of Vanessa’s ombre fabric from her new collection, Simply Color.

Each of these quilts was made from just over a yard and a half of continuous yardage, cut into 5″ squares. The different shades of the ombre fabric create different colored blocks and are then resewn into a baby quilt. The quilting was done by Monica Steelman.

I made quilts in three different colors to hang in Vanessa’s both at Market. Ta-da!

Vanessa’s whole booth was so cheerful and colorful. I love that Bloom applique flower quilt behind her, also made with the ombre fabrics.

And here are some of the other coordinating prints.

This collection will be available in shops in October.

Finally, many thanks to all those who entered the Market Loot giveaway last week. The first thing I could think of was what my brother used to say when he was 10-yrs-old: “Holy Schnikes!” The winner has been announced and emailed. I wish I had loot to share with all of you!

Oh Amy. I am in love with the baby quilts you made for Vanessa. I know EXACTLY what I will make for my son&#39;s room now!! The blue ombre. I can not wait for her fabrics to become available. So fresh and new. I need enough of the blue for a queen sized bed. How fun that will be!!<br />You are so blessed to be able to sew for Vanessa. :0) I wish I could do the same. :0)<br />Have a

Love those quilts! So simple and pretty.<br /><br />When I showed my husband V&#39;s new fabric he said, &quot;But wouldn&#39;t you just have to buy tons of fabric to get enough of the same color?&quot; I tried to explain all of the cool things that you could do with a fading color, but I don&#39;t think he ever got it. Maybe he has heard me complain too often about running out of the right

Oh, I love these! I&#39;ll confess I was a little &quot;meh&quot; on this collection when I first saw pictures of it, but I really like how the ombre is used in your quilts (and the quilt that is hanging above your trio in the booth.) I&#39;m amazed it only takes a yard and a half for the front of a baby quilt–a nice, relatively budget-conscious way to make a quilt that looks like it took a lot

Eek! I adore those quilts! You added the perfect touch to her booth with these beauties. I can&#39;t wait for Vanessa&#39;s line to come out so I can play with all that color!! Hope you had a great weekend, Amy. Smiles~Beth

I absolutely love those three quilts. I&#39;ll admit that I&#39;m not a huge fan of the ombre trend, but for some reason the colors up there are just perfect to me. It&#39;s simple and modern, and unisex! How cool is that? I&#39;ll definitely be watching for this fabric line when it comes out in October. Thanks for the inspiration! I might have to go on a solids adventure and see if I can attempt

Oh the possibilities! Simple and so citric! I can see so many similarities to a couple of my recent projects …. along familiar lines of &#39;less is more&#39; – well done getting everything finished. It is all photographed so beautifully x ammartini
